[OS X TeX] Re: could use some info

[William Duckworth]

I agree. I see nothing that holds a candle to Alpha (and believe me I 
tried for several months after OSX became stable!). I'll happily keep 
booting Classic until AlphaX is ready. Emacs has a steep learning 
curve and despite what some have said, I thought Alpha was (nearly) 
trivial to learn to use (I largely ignored all its many features when 
I first used it for TeXing).

AlphaTk would be great if the Aqua implementation of Tk/Tcl was more 
polished. I imagine AlphaX and a polished Mac OS X Tk will probably 
hit the web about the same time!
